Replying to @MarcAndreHam
@MarcAndreHam’s new album Found Objects Sound Objects stunning in every way! His performance of Salvatore Martirano’s “Stuck on Stella” like you’ve never heard before in tone quality, touch, and technical brilliance. I think Sal would have loved this! open.spotify.com/track/0RuOe…
